- Thread starter burnsie
- Start date
Damn, was looking for the 'stirring the pot' picture, but there isn't one.There's a first time for everything
Hey @burnsie , we will be there on sat also. Just bought the tickets. No kids to make it easier. May also go Friday, not sureHey @Smirke , @dagree & @bigcol got another rim as a second spare for the van for the upcoming trip, Caravanland only sells the rims....no tyres have to grab one from a local tyre shop. so will have two spares for the Prado and now two spares for the Expanda.........(once I get the tyre fitted that is, and yes being alloy they might break not like steel you can't hit it back into place with a hammer and the tyres aren't the best but should do especially with two extras....hopefully)
The tyres on mine are only 15inch, would have preferred 16's but it was floor stock......post my trip let me know if any of you need a second spare happy for you to use on your trips (if you have 15 inch tyres that is)
Hopefully I won't need it but some of the tracks better to have just in case
didn't fall asleep @Smirke , was still writing my list for the items I want to get at the show......up to item number ......OMG so many
yeah will be leaving the family at home, hoping to head to the show on Sat & Sun want to try and see everything and enter as many comps as possible to get some freebie's, but of course get the latest updates from the different areas up north and from interstate, should be a good show this year
Leave some stuff for us to look at on Sunday :hail:... Normally try to get there on the Friday.... Damn I miss my RDO's :violin:
Will try to leave some stuff. Still waiting on the car......told it may be tues or wed . Nothing like cutting it fine!
Unfortunately working on the Thursday and Friday, so it leave Sat & Sun for me, hopefully they still have some good deals and stuff left
. you might even be driving there in the new car!!!!!
Who knows. I'm hoping to, as I need my Mickey Mouse ears!Unfortunately working on the Thursday and Friday, so it leave Sat & Sun for me, hopefully they still have some good deals and stuff left
your safe with them, about the only thing that would make a 200 attractive.....................
Agree!
That's why we are disguising ours. To make it look better.
So day 1 of the long weekend, we were able to get away due to work commitments so decided to start of some more mods
The DO35 Hitch arrived in the mail on Thursday so thought I would swap this over, it was a straight swap, however the hand brake setup was a little longer on the old Alko hitch so had to shorten the brake cables so the handbrake when on is nice a tight, will try and hook it up sometime on the weekend see how it tows.
Also picked up a new Solar regulator and monitor at the Perth show, hooked this up, was going to change the location, took the microwave out had a bit of a look and decided to just put it in the same place, pretty easy to see where it is.
And continued with the washing machine mod, added a wall in the cupboard and cut down the existing shelf to slot back in, just some brackets for the pipes and the bench top and it should be finished......
Will probably move back onto the car tomorrow and get further along the install of the lights......

Received my first mod yesterday, a set of clear roof skirt windows thanks @crustt
These things look great can't wait to install them, only problem is the van is still about 4-5 weeks away
